this should tell you where i am in the dissertation writing...i am a member of “GenX” – the generation of so-called “slackers” whose late adolescent/early adulthood wanderings were somewhat archived in movies such as “reality bites, “singles,” and “clerks.” i say “somewhat” because our generation seems to have run from being captured by any single ideal or shared goal and, therefore, seems to defy being caricaturized, even if through that we have become our own biggest caricaturists.so there.
